I've been pulling fan leaves this week . 1. To slow the top down . 2. To encourage side branch growth. 3. So they can remain in very small pots in a small space until I have space to let them grow properly.

Slow, precise, solemn. The Acapulco Gold doesn't run. Don't elbow. It just... takes its space. And he does it with authority. At the sixth week of vegetative, it began to show that calm power typical of true sative: slender branches, sharp leaves, and a structure that is being composed as a natural work of art. It doesn't make the noise of the most flashy, but those who cultivate with heart know it: This is a genetics that knows exactly what it wants to become. ⸻ 💧 Irrigation routine managed with precision: After the forced pause of the timer, I let the plant speak. Just one minute of irrigation a day did its job. The ground breathed, drained well, and she replied: No sign of stress, just balance. ⸻ Weekly nutritional formula: In the 50L tank I kept the flow constant with: • Grow / Micro / Bloom – Advanced Nutrients for the complete base • Sensizym, to keep the root system active and clean • B-52, which gives tone to each leaf and supports the push • ATA Clean, silent but essential for the health of the plant ⸻ 🧠 Growth impressions: The Acapulco is not growing. It's maturing. It's taking its form, like a rebellious bonsai that doesn't want to be contained. The SCROG network is waiting for you... and you will arrive when the time is right. The beautiful one? Every day it gets closer. His pace is slow, but he leaves his mark. ⸻ 🎯 Next goal: Guide her in the quadrants of the net with patience, while the rest of the team closes the vegetable carpet. When he shoots on 12/12, he won't need to chase anyone: The Acapulco Gold will arrive straight to the heart of the flowering, long, tall, intense. ⸻

Day 64 - Beginning of the Final Flowering Week 🌱 Hello, my grow friends! We’re entering the last flowering week, and it looks like I’ll be harvesting the plant around Friday, which will be roughly Day 68. 💭 Harvest Decision: It’s a tough decision because while the buds are still growing, the trichomes in the middle and lower parts of the plant are already about 80% milky and 10% amber. I’ll keep an eye on things and plan to check the trichomes again on Day 65, two days before harvest, to make a final decision. 🌿 Trichome Considerations: I have a feeling that even after cutting the plant and hanging it upside down to dry, some nutrients might still move into the buds, potentially causing them to swell a bit more. This is something I’m curious to see. 💧 Humidity, Water, and Temperature: As I mentioned in my last update, I flushed the plant yesterday, just before the start of the final week, with 4 liters of water. This should help flush out any remaining nutrients, and I likely won’t need to water again before harvest since the pots are thoroughly soaked. The humidity and temperature are holding steady between 52-58% and 20-24°C, which I find ideal. I’ve got my exhaust system and fan running continuously to ensure no mold develops. 📸 Final Updates: I’ll check in again with an update just before harvest to let you know how things are looking. Remember, I’m posting new pictures and videos of my plant every day.

Seconda settimana di veg...la runtz che è nata prima dell'altra sta mutando in modo strano. Non avevo mai visto spostarsi il centro apicale..sembra che si è piegata e l'apicale sta crescendo come sé fosse un ramo laterale 😂🤣🤦💪

Amazing smell sticky crystal I started giving Big Buds and hopefully in a few days they will be greasy and big 🔥🔥🔥

Flipped to 12-12 at just under 7 week mark as I ran out of canopy space. Plants are growing beautifully no issues thus far. Began using compost tea as well as a mostly clover based cover crop. Rotating plants daily to get even growth of tops that might be crowded.

They grew really bushy because the light was too intense. Topped them to get more light to the side branches

Se empieza a fertilizar de a poquito 👌👨‍🌾🏻🍀

So far so good! Watering with ph'd water at 6.3 to 6.5. Running a 18/6 light schedule using a 135w hlg quantum board. This little girl is growing like crazy! 😊 She'll be 3 weeks old in 4 days.

Firstly, the video of the popcorn bud from the mother plant, is showing what’s known as xylem sap from a process known as guttation. I never new that until this. Additionally, I am sorry to have missed out on so much documentation. I can talk forever about my plants so this will be short and to the point. Fast vigorous growth. Very resilient and hardy strain able to shrug of cold damp conditions, and freezing nights down to 32 Fahrenheit. The immune system seemed to be very strong. Never did I find any pathogens or even pests! A few but those little ghost spiders really helped out. During harvest, a thorough inspection resulting in surprisingly clean product! Finishing with large “airy” buds with fat bracts covered in trichomes. A rich musky cheese smell that surprisingly tastes of berries! I suppose I’m getting ahead of myself. But I was able to finish cure and smoke test the mom before harvesting the clone. Finally: this fast 50-60 day pheno will continue popping new bracts up to 90 days!!!! Or at least the mother in the tent did. Also, the dry weight is an approximation as I’m not finished with trim.

The temperatures, humidity, and watering volume(if measured) in grow conditions are all averaged for the week. The pH is soil pH. Any watering done by me is well water which is 7.6 pH The temperatures, humidity, and watering volume(if measured) in grow conditions are all averaged for the week. The pH is soil pH. Any watering done by me is well water which is 7.6 pH and 50° F. Any listed nutrients are ml/gallon of soil. This soil has nutrients premixed into it. I mixed 320ml Organic Coop Poop 2-4-3, 160ml Espoma blood meal 12-0-0, and 480ml Gaia glacial rock dust per 32 gallon pot. The above listed nutrients, with the exception of ferrous sulfate, will be dry amendments premixed per gallon of soil. On day 3 I top dressed with ferrous sulfate monohydrate at the rate of 2.5ml/gallon of soil as listen in nutrients section. I didn't fill these pots above halfway with soil in the case we had heavy consistent rain. Half a pot dries faster than a whole one. I will be filling these pots completely as soon as these get more height and the rain lessens. Day 1 we had heavy dew and it was mostly cloudy. Day 2 we had a heavy dew in the morning. That afternoon we had cooler temps and intermittent rain that continued overnight. Day 3 was overcast with thunderstorms and rain that evening and night. Day 4 we had a rain shower late morning, but the sun came out mid day. Day 5 early morning 2-3 a.m. we had very heavy thunderstorm. The rest of the day was sunny and cool. Day 6 forecast was 5% rain that became 100% thunderstorm. There was heavy rain and wind on day 6 for about a hour from 9.30 a.m to 10.30 a.m., then a second round later that afternoon. Day 7 turned out very good. Lots of sunshine and a light breeze that'll help dry out that soil a bit. These soaking wet conditions we experienced this week are something cannabis seedlings survive with difficulty. I've found fastbuds genetics withstands these conditions consistently where other brands have total failure. We had a very successful week considering all of the difficulty with the weather. Fastbuds genetics have consistently withstood the harsh outdoor environment here in the Ozarks. These girls are pushing two inches and are thriving.

Did some defolination and lollipopping for some clones. Malasana Cookies, Bruce Banner and Cookies Kush. London Mint Cake is to short. Maybe i will pop next time an other seed. I dont show the clones. I will go for this run. Now i use Green House Feeding Hybrid instand of the Grow. Bruce Banner become some lst because its to huge. Lower topping next time. and maybe sog to all.

[DAY 43] - 13/07/2022 - Temp. 29° / RH: 50/60%; - EC 1.3; PH 6.3 - In the next few days: a) I will gradually raise the EC up to 1.5, first with a large addition of CaMg+ (up to 3/4 ml/L), then moving on to the full pre-flowering feed; b) I try to keep PH at 6.0 to improve the absorption of cal-mag; - Lamp: 80% (120 watt) - 50 cm away from the center of the net - 18/6 cycle; - Many leaves seems to be too green, almost dark green, we'll see next days how plant grows and fix if needed; - I widened the canopy a bit outwards through the scrog net, I hope it will help the light penetrate better in the center; - I also removed a single leaf that was very large and which from day one was blocking all the light in the center of the net. I was certainly wrong not to remove it before, which is a lesson to me for the next runs. [DAY 44] - 14/07/2022 no update, just uploaded pics [DAY 45] - 15/07/2022 - 28°/29° C - 45%/50% RH (dry day); - PH 6.0/6.2 - EC 1.5 (1.1 preflower blend and 0.4 only CALMAG due demineralized water); - Lamp: 80% (120 watt) - 40 cm away from the highest point of the plant - 18/6 cycle; - A bit leaf tucking today - This weekend I'll remove the ties; - Center of the net is slowly filling up, new small branches are popping up and I hope they can fill that central hole. [DAY 46] - 16/07/2022 - 29° C - 65% RH (wet day); - PH 6.2 - EC 1.5 ; - Since yesterday almost all the new leaves are growing showing signs of some problem (look pictures). Some deficiency? Excess of nutrients? Other? I ask with a growquestion and hope to understand more about it. Fingers crossed 😐 - Thanks to the advice of @Chow_13 and @SwissKush I realized that the leaves were signaling me to start flowering nutrition right away, the plant is starting to require more P and K. I just replaced the solution in the DWC with 8 liters of bloom nutrient. In the evening I upload some pics to show how plant reacts. [DAY 47] - 17/07/2022 - 29° C - 65% RH (wet day); - PH 6.2 - EC 1.6; - I just regenerated the CO2 tanks and I decided to put them outside the box because they are too bulky (the tube through which the CO2 passes is inside the grow box). [DAY 48] - 18/07/2022 - 29° C - 65% RH (wet day); - PH 6.1 - EC 1.7; - TS1000 40 cm away - 80% (120 watt); - New leaves are growing well. - Removed the branch tie; - Found an ant on the log, but how the hell did you get in? [DAY 49] - 19/07/2022 - 29° C - 60% RH ; - PH 6.0 - EC 1.74; - TS1000 40 cm away - 80% (120 watt); - Plant is drinking about 1.5 liters of solution per day. I'm trying to keep the PH below 6.1, at the moment it is 6 and tomorrow I try to lower it to 5.9 / 5.8; I highlight how the solution inserted on 16/07/2022 had EC 1.6 and today the EC is 1.74, it has slowly risen over the last few days. For the moment nothing alarming, I see how it proceeds and if so I intervene; - Removed the 2-3 liters still in the DWC and inserted 8 liters of new solution: EC 1.37 - PH 5.9. The plant was not drinking well, the EC was continuing to rise and tomorrow I start the new week, so I anticipated the replacement of the solution. EC 1.6 was too much? Or the plant was not yet ready for a full flower blend? I don't know, let's see how it goes with the new solution.

I can’t believe how big it’s become !! 😍

3/16: Rain let up for half the day, but more tonight...damnit... They are due for a watering tomorrow, but with the high RH, maybe not... 3/17: They weren't ready for water yet, so I slept for a few bonus hours! (rare) Both of these plants continue to pack on the pistils with no signs of slowing down...I thought surely the shortie would be ready to flush this week, but she's not even close to ready yet.😕 It rained for most for the day....again... 3/18: I watered them with about 1/2 gallon each including terpinator, signal, sweet & sticky, cal-mag, armor si, endoboost, humic acid, and a little cha ching. It rained all night again..and most of the day today. I took some photos with the qb's turned off and a 135w 5500k CFL on.. 3/19: It rained all night and several times again today...ffs....I've started building an Ark in my free time 😁 3/20: Rained again on and off today..RH still too high... 3/21: I took the shortie out of the closet today to inspect her trichomes. I took about 2-dozen close-ups and zoomed in really close on my PC and couldn't find a single amber anywhere...and prolly only about 30% cloudy at this point.. I went ahead and took some cuttings from her while I had her out. Hopefully I can get at least one to survive and grow outdoors this season. I also took some cuttings from the FFT#6 (the other shortie), and I started a couple of other FFT's (5 & 7) which I'll train out as horizontally as possible to match the shortie's heights. 3/22: Rained again last night several times...and again today for a couple hours...ridiculous. Woke up with RH at 65%!!! Been chatting with other FFT growers and they all seem to be losing a lot of produce to botrytis...I'm starting to freak out..😳

Cali crasher just went to ph water. Looking to cut her down in two weeks. Everything is looking great under the Hortibloom solux 350. Thank you Hortibloom, and Doctors Choice. 🤜🏻🤛🏻💪🏼❄️🌱 Thank you grow diaries community for the 👇likes👇, follows, comments, and subscriptions on my YouTube channel👇. ❄️🌱🍻 Happy Growing 🌱🌱🌱 https://youtube.com/channel/UCAhN7yRzWLpcaRHhMIQ7X4g

Croissance extrêmement forte et rapide. Pour sa 6e semaine la Critical KUSH explose. Je pense la rempoter en pot de 10L. Le système racinaire est très bien développé. Elle est rempoté toutes les 3 semaines actuellement et je double la taille du contenant. Je l'ai pincé 2 fois cette semaine pour densifier le pied.

Poppin Bottlez ranging from 145-165cm. Grim Spodie are very close to 180cm both. Most of them are clearly flowering allready. Poppin Bottlez looking really dense, Grim Spodie are more stretched out. I gave them a little nutrientboost, cause some of them were starting to get a little bit yellow/light green.
